Nose surgery (or rhinoplasty) was the most common cosmetic surgery. Aesthetic nasal surgery (rhinoplasty) perfects the shape of the nose, bringing it into balance with the other highlights of the face. The goal of nose surgery is to remold the nose. It can be either a reduction or enlargement method depending on the client's needs.

Everything about the nose can be mutated: the tip, the bridge, the nostril size, the angle it meets your face and lip, and much more. Rhinoplasty can rectify a variety of conditions including an over-sized nose, a hump on the bridge, an undesirable shape of the nasal tip or a narrow or wide span of the nostrils. Both frontal and profile views of the nose are corrected to complement other facial features, and to furnish a balance of proportions.

Rhinoplasty can also be used to correct for breathing problems caused by narrow or partisanally obstructed nostrils. In general, a nose surgery is more problematic to recover from compared to other procedures. The face is extremely sensitive to invasive surgery and it takes weeks before swelling and bruising fade.

Aging is a common cause of nasal impediment. This happnes when cartilage in the nose and its tip are weakened by age and droop because of gravity, causing the sides of the nose to collapse inward, obstructing air flow.

Try lifting the tip of your nose to see if you breathe excel. If so, the external adhesive nasal strips which athletes have advertised may help. Internal splints or soft packing can be pointed in the nostrils to hold the septum in its new position.

A rhinoplasty generally takes one to two hours, but on rare incidents it may take longer. There is very little pain after rhinoplasty and most patients need only moderate analgesics. Rhinoplasty should often be lated until after age 13 for girls, and 15 for boys (since boys have their growth spurt later than girls).

Rhinoplasty is an involved process which will expect a huge investment of time. However, for those who have appertains about the way their nose looks, it could be the thing which changes their life forever.

Rhinoplasty will provide expressive improvements in the appearance of the nose for the vast majority of patients although, in occasional cases, a secondary correction may be required. There are risks with all surgical techniques.
